@MikeKeegan_DM This is the model for all ticketing nowadays. Why blame just @FIFA when the whole business does this for every sport and every major concert tour?

@forcemm @Ticket_Help2022 I'm sure all the shareholders are going to want less return. Makes total sense.

@forcemm @Ticket_Help2022 But in this world that's been faciliated and you advocate for that chance has been weaponized against them to a zero sum possibility.

@forcemm @Ticket_Help2022 And sometimes actual fans fot a great ticket at an honest price as well.

Yesterday available FIFA inventory suddenly dropped from 74k to 30k tickets.

It's the post-Covid US ticketing model:
1) start with high prices
2) slowly release inventory
3) occasionally remove supply
4) steer seats to hospitality
5) only cut prices if absolutely necessary

At least 80K tickets were released in FIFA's ticket drop yesterday, more than tripling FIFA-direct availability to 115K+ seats, per TicketData.

The actual release was likely larger, since that figure reflects remaining availability observed roughly 6 hours after the drop.

Surprisingly, about 1/3 of the release appears to have already sold.

@forcemm @TicketsData People are still being ripped off. It's just algorithmic white collar crime.
